across the city throughout February, and while final box office figures were unavailable at time of going

to press, organisers can confirm that they’ve already broken 40,000 total admissions, and are delighted

that the Festival has managed to reach that particular milestone in ten years.

Allan Hunter, Festival Co-Director, said:

‘This has been a thrilling tenth edition of Glasgow Film Festival. Our loyal and growing audience have

more than confirmed their status as one of the best festival crowds in the world, greeting our guests with

rousing welcomes and standing ovations, and, as the numbers show, turning up in droves. We put

together a huge programme of UK and European premieres, vintage treats and the unique pop-up

events that have become a GFF speciality, and our audiences have provided us with enough

encouragement and love to keep the Festival going. We’re all happily exhausted, inspired and glowing

with gratitude that such a marvellous team effort has been met by such a generous public vote of

confidence. Roll on 2015!’

The tenth Glasgow Film Festival supported by Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, Event Scotland, Creative Scotland and The BFI, closed tonight with the Scottish Premiere of Under The Skin. A packed programme of 369 screenings, panel discussions, live performances and pop-up cinema events ran across the city throughout February, and while final box office figures were unavailable at time of going to press, organisers can confirm that they’ve already broken 40,000 total admissions, and are delighted that the Festival has managed to reach that particular milestone in ten years.
